Welcome to our Abraham Lincoln birthday celebration. I’m Clint Cargile, host of the Drinkin’ with Lincoln Podcast. This special one-hour Lincoln retrospective was broadcast on WNIJ on Sunday, February 13, one day after Lincoln’s 213th birthday. It was created from Drinkin’ with Lincoln stories that I found fun, interesting, or profound. I hope these stories will give you new insight into our 16th President.

I would like to thank the Lincoln presenters for the contributions they provide to both Lincoln and history:

Kevin Wood

Michael Krebs

Laura Keyes

Joe Woodard

Max and Donna Daniels

Rick Otey

Clint Cargile is the host of This Week in Illinois History and the creator and host of the podcast Drinkin’ with Lincoln.
